Although most doctors of chiropractic (DCs) practice in a healthcare office setting,1 recently there has been heightened interest in the role of chiropractic care in corporate on-site health clinics. For example, the Foundation for Chiropractic Progress (F4CP) report2 mentions 2 studies that found the inclusion of chiropractic care in on-site clinics resulted in lower utilization of some health care services, such as radiology, physical therapy, and emergency services; decreased overall health care costs; and improved neuro-musculoskeletal function.3,4
Similarly, in another study comparing on-site and off-site treatment for occupational low-back injuries, it was found that on-site treatment was associated with lesser amounts of treatment, fewer modified workdays, lower treatment costs, better productivity, lower transportation costs, shorter duration-of-injury claims, and lower total claim costs.
